Adobe launched its latest version of Acrobat, Acrobat 5.0, in April. In this new version, the compatibility of Chinese characters has been greatly improved, and the integration with the Internet and database is more comprehensive, plus the original features of the old version. All have been enhanced to make Acrobat 5.0 the tool of choice for digital printing production. 


More convenient for Microsoft Office users


Compared with the old version of Acrobat, the most obvious change in the new version is the operation interface. The design of the new operation interface is somewhat similar to the style of Microsoft Office. This is an important strategy for Adobe to strive for Office users. After all, the files most frequently circulated and approved are commercial documents, and the ones that produce the most commercial documents are Microsoft Office users. At present, Office users mainly use Word format files when distributing electronic files. The result of this is to form a network effect in Word format. Since you need to install Word software, you can view and edit Word format files. Therefore, if more people use Word format to distribute files, more people need to install Word software. The more people install Word software, the more people use Word. The format distributes the file, and if there are no external factors, the whole process will be looped.


However, there are a lot of inconveniences in using Word to distribute files. One of them is the lack of flexible file usage rights settings. In contrast, Acrobat is much more flexible in this regard. The author of the document can set the document to be read only, only to print, or ask the reader to enter a digital signature to confirm that it has been viewed, or to set the file to be not allowed to edit, to prevent the content from being modified, or even to specify the file. Read on a computer. These settings are important features in the circulation and approval documents. However, the old version of Acrobat failed to attract a large number of Office users because of its functional advantages. The reason is that most Office users have become accustomed to the operation of Word, and are reluctant to spend time learning Acrobat operations in order to circulate documents. The new layout of Acrobat 5.0 is designed to overcome the psychological barriers of Office users. We believe this will increase the number of Office users switching to PDF distribution files, thereby expanding the market capacity of PDF files. The use of PDF in more documents also means a lower technical threshold for entering digital printing. Due to the fact that PDF has been digested by Word and Postscript, there are fewer opportunities for text misplacement and image missing. The cost of manuscript processing for digital printers will gradually decrease. This benefit will benefit the entire digital printing industry, but new players will join the industry. Will benefit more.


In addition to changing the interface to make Office users more adaptable, Acrobat also strengthens the integration with the Office software itself. When installing Acrobat 5.0, the installer will install two buttons to the operation interface of Office, namely "conventtoAdobe PDF" and "conventtoAdobe PDF and Email". The PDF files generated by these two buttons will be automatically added to each paragraph. Tag, which is a number of publication formats, such as whether the paragraph is a text or a title. Digital printers can use the volume label on the PDF to provide other value-added services, such as electronic file storage and retrieval. E-book production and content reuse, etc.


More convenient for work team communication


As the production cycle of printing becomes shorter and shorter, time is getting tighter and more, and sharing production information among team members is an important means to improve efficiency. Acrobat 5.0 has done a great job in this area. With the new remote annotation feature, business users, designers and digital printers can simultaneously explain and interpret the same PDF file, although they are in different locations. These notes can be electronic stickers, image highlights or sound instructions, and so on. Many mistakes and delays in the production process are often caused by insufficient communication between the parties involved in the production, especially the corrections and changes related to the image. It is especially difficult to communicate. The remote annotation function of Acrobat 5.0 is to overcome An important tool for this difficulty.


Chinese processing ability is stronger


Since the launch of Acrobat, Chinese font issues have been plaguing Acrobat users, because if Chinese content is not displayed correctly, all the benefits of electronic files will not be realized. Chinese problem finally got two breakthrough solutions in Acrobat5.0. The first breakthrough is about the inner code of Chinese font. Although version 4 Acrobat can also input Chinese characters, it is limited to the basic Big5 word set. Chinese characters have not been effectively processed. Within Acrobat, these foreign words and common words can finally be processed in other Chinese characters. The second breakthrough is that Chinese characters can be entered in the PDF form. After that, the PDF form can be used as the input front end of the Chinese database to input and distribute Chinese materials.


Acrobat 5.0 does a lot of improvements in form processing. For example, you can dump the data of the input form into an XML file, which is very convenient for its transfer and processing. Chinese PDF forms can also provide personalized printing services with digital printing. For example, a large number of different styles of art layouts can be created in advance, allowing users to input their own data through the network and then directly printing these PDF files with user data. This is the most Good personalized printing service.
